On the nature of Computing Science - Edsger W. Dijkstra

This quote fue agregado por megabitch
Simplicity is a great virtue, but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse, complexity sells better. The computing industry is not the only one that has discovered that sore truth: so has the academic world. If you deliver a lecture that is crystal clear from beginning to end, your audience feels cheated and mutters while leaving the lecture hall, "That was all rather trivial, wasn't it?"
